Re: mtab: libdiskfs / ext2fs support changes

[David Walter]

I  had  previously reported that  the  filesystems  mounted  using the
changes posted for mtab+libdiskfs --mntpath  sometimes failed to mount
the file system writable,  but that  starting the translator  actively
worked.

It turns out that the  problem was the  underlying owner of the  node,
was   non-root  for the  nodes    which   failed  to start   writable,
specifically the owner was a normal user, group was root.

After resetting the ownership of the underlying nodes to root.root the
activation of a passive translator correctly reports itself to mtab as
well as starts writable :-/
